| hi michiko and welcome to df! it can be scary... but you realize that you will have to make some changes and that's good! ask your dr. to do an a1c -it's a blood test-no need to fast. it tells how high your glucose has been for the past 2-3 months. let us know how the dr. visit goes! any questions or concerns-ask the dr.and ask us as well...take care,trish |
